Episode Quotes
Michael: Sam, don't sprinkle sugar on this bull and call it candy.

Michael: I find it hard to hide a gun in a bathing suit.

Michael: When a spy gets fired, he doesn't get a call from the lady in H.R. and a gold watch. They cut him off. They make sure he can never work again. They can't take away his skills or what's in his head, so they take away the resources that allow him to function. They burn him.

Michael: In a fight, you have to be careful not to break the little bones in your hand on someone's face. That's why I like bathrooms. Lots of hard surfaces.



Cultural References
Series Title: Burn Notice

According to the Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, a burn notice is an "official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable for any of a variety of reasons."
